TidBITS: Comments on iOS 6.0.2 May Impact Battery Lifehttp://tidbits.com/
Although reports are still anecdotal and we have no explanation as yet, we recommend holding off on the iOS 6.0.2 update to avoid potentially significant battery drains on the iPhone 5 and iPad mini.en-usCopyright 2012 TidBITS Publishing Inc.Mon, 28 Jan 2013 00:00:00 ESTMon, 28 Jan 2013 00:00:00 ESTeditors@tidbits.com (TidBITS Editors)editors@tidbits.com (TidBITS Editors)TidBITShttp://tidbits.com/images/tb_logo_152x55.pnghttp://tidbits.com/

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 07:07:14 ESThttp://tidbits.com/article/13474#comments_17388At first i thought it was a problem with my first iPhone 5 so i gave it back to the retailer and i got a new one. When i installed 6.0.2 on my new device the same problem occured.

My phone goes from 100% charge to 0% in approximately 4 hours while being idle.

Ive tried to reset settings and shutting of all apps, ive cleaned the divice and reinstalled everything. This is really starting to bugger me. I need to have the charger with me everywhere i go and its making my phone completely useless.

If any help is available it would be appreciated.]]>http://db.tidbits.com/article/13474?rss#comments_17325

Very frustrating!]]>http://db.tidbits.com/article/13474?rss#comments_17235
Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:33:43 ESThttp://tidbits.com/article/13474#comments_17235Personally, I think iOS6.0 has been Apples biggest failure. Everyone knows about the Maps issue but what about all the excessive data use that no one wants to acknowledge.

My 2nd iPhone 5 replacement used 50 megabyte of data during setup at the Apple Store.

Was just observing the battery indicator go from about 75 percent this evening (iPhone was at 100 percent charged up at noon) down to 41% over the course of a 1.5 hour regular voice phone call (and nothing else going on the phone during the call).

Which to me seems totally nuts -- either the iPhone5/ iOS6.0.2 is using too much juice, or something else weird is going on with it.

But at this rate (34% used for 1.5 hr call) I could only expect to get a max of 4.5 hours talk time before the battery runs out.
